under de same constellation

i had been highly tempted to go out and hav a look at gothenburg at night. and with soccernet reporting that Sweden v. Denmark euro qualifyer was being played at de stadium 5km away from where i stay, plus a little bit of encouragement ^^, i was gazing at the stars of de northen hemisphere.

星星就是穷人的珍珠 ^^

but... the star arrangement is strangely unfamiliar. no orion, no southern cross. tho expected, it still makes me want to cry T.T... i guess i should start to learn how to recognize ursa major, since it's there all year long on de northen sky.

will see orion again in winter tho :) can almost remember everytime when "can u see the 3 brighter stars that runs in-line?" rings in de ears. many years ago, on de back street of home when mom first taught me to recognize it; again quite ancient, under swaying coconut trees when we also first learned how to sing 熬夜; and probably de last time, on de unbelievable sydney trip with LL, that was our first real taste of low cost backpacking no?

hope i'll start to develop a bond with and to like de swedish twi-light like de malaysian and aussie ones before it :)

oh, right. it was going to be a trip to de stadium... nej, it wasn't.
coz while i was fixing my eyes on de night sky at de bus stop, a bloke came and we started to talk. and on de bus he confirmed that the game is played in stockholm >.< my fellow IT friends, how can i hack soccernet?

doesnt matter really, coz gothenburg at night is fascinating enough by itself. no heavy curtains like melbourne. so, warm, cosy lights are spilling out from de household windows, which make things a whole lot merrier ^^ i nv understand why melbournians like to draw thick and heavy curtains at night... it make the city feels like a crime and conspiracy movie shooting place. good for star gazing tho, less light pollution ^^
